Africans please stop, you are proving them right. Did you mean qualifying athletes were replaced with people going for leisure? That can't be. But 67 for 7 is cray.
Africa is Africa and this will never change . Népotism and corruption are the core values whatever is the african country.
Whenever Government officials denies any allegations means they are guilty liars and hiding the truth
Disgusting absolutely disgusting. Those 67 officials should reimburse the Zimbabwean people the entire cost of the trip and back including shopping expenses.
I can understand coaches, physio, a team doctor, but 67 officials?
Stay poor Zimbabwe. Stay poor 🇿🇼 👎
While their own stave in their own country, gold medal in political grifting, another shythole country…
7 atheletes and 67 staffs 😀😊😄😀😊😄😀😀😊😄😀😄😊😀😊😄😄
This is Africa, anything can happen 😂😂😂😂
Corruption the order of the day.
Why are Blaming Zimbabwe and it People when you know they're Under an Oppressive Government. That is what Dictatorship looks like. As the Zimbabwean People, they're just as Pissed as Everybody Else.
Am I surprised ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, 67 officials. To me that is embarrassing, shameful and wasteful. All they needed was a sporting president, director of the sport, PR, secretary, coach and a physio to help accommodate the 7 athletes. But 67 officials. Have all 67 officials returned home? Sounds like they are in the Mugabe erra. Disgracel is all I can say.
I’m so sorry this happened! I agree with you that the authorities are acting selfishly and keeping young athletes from a lifetime accomplishment. I had no idea…..as an American, I’m sorry. We are under very selfish and greedy leaders ourselves,right now. All we can do is promote voting and freedom from those who would take from their own people.
Is this the legacy of Mugabe?
I call it what it is—corruption, plain and simple. They're strong-arming other countries into their dirty games. Zimbabwe’s idea? Apparently, everyone’s got to hold hands with ten others just to stay afloat. This whole thing reeks of milking the Olympics dry. And as if by magic, Grab Hags Aunties pop up like a bad rash—thanks, China!
corruption always the same
I am certain if we looked hard enough we could find a non indigenous group to blame.
Duncan, who did you vote for?
No man Zimbabwean. Come on the world thinks all of Africa is corrupt and this is giving them more ammunition. Shameful 😢
Africans leaders are too corrupt. This is why they will remain a $-hole country.
corruption . corruption. corruption. and we know it
So sad for Zimbabwe citizens.
Corruption at wotk.
Holiday for the officials! They're busy at the red-light district doing aerobics while their athletes were slugging away competing for medals.
They all do it. Lack of integrity
Whenever/wherever free things exist, corruption abounds & flourishes
It’s very frustrating isn’t it?
What's changed then….? Lessons of history!
For comparison, my country, Indonesia, sent 29 athletes accompanied by 57 non-athlete delegations (coaches/trainers, officials, headquarters members).
Therefore, I consider 67 officials x 7 athletes be an unacceptable ratio.
Corrupt a little?
67 officials and 7 athletes? My god. That is crazy.
And Africans still blaming the whites after they left more than 50years ago why their country is still poor???
67 free holiday trips to France😄
I bet they glorified over expensive tickets and royalty treatment. This is very embarrassing.
I immediately empathized. But while other sources support this news there are some providing specific names of officials and they are eight coaches and two officials. I also read that a private jet was used. I think rush to judgement and speculation is likely only very damaging here. Knowing for sure seems impossible so very soon, especially that the government is denying the allegations. Receipts are needed. This video offers no receipts, just expectation for the audience to believe every word and all emotion ( exactly my initial reaction). Maybe the private jet would be easy research and start there…. The upside, now, is I am interested to hear from the athletes how their Olympics experiences were.
I can see how frustrating it is for people struggling in Zimbabwe.
Ooooooh Africa my Africa 😂😂😂 why??
Idi amin would be proud of the Zimbabwean politicians 😂
Officials are involved in sports that athletes from their nations might not have qualified for. A referee from Malawi … If very good could officiate a Mexico vs Italy match even though Malawi didn't qualify.
They probably want to claim asylum 😢
Too wordless and mouthless to believe.
SLAVERY STILL AVAILABLE IN MAURITANIA
BUT AFRICANS DO NOTHING
MUST WHITES DO EVERYTHING ❓❓❓
Very typical! Being from a fellow African country! How governments and officials embarrass our countries citizens, and show an absolute misuse of power and privilege.
Time that Sub Saharan Africa held the Olympics. They also need to build planes and design motorcars.
